There is actually a store in which Silver items are sold, in town - though they might as well not be sold since they are pathetically weak compared to the gold items + only weapons, no armor/headgear.
Some classes do have cheap mass attacks, problem is that you still need to grind a bit to get them. Also, they're useful only in dungeon grinding, a thought you should abandon at level 200+ (unless, you are a Snow Bandit, then you belong in Scarabs until you can properly contribute to your team at... level 2500 should be enough, and that's a bit of a stretch. Hue.)
As someone closing in level 500, any monsters with less than 50 times your health is a weak one. I have 36k health myself and hit for 100k, normally the monsters in my grinding areas have way over a million health. The early levels are the least of your worries when soloing, but rather the higher ones, specially if your class does not fit in soloing. And the difficulty spikes in quests, as far as I remember, is nowhere near that big, unless you just got to level 10 and had the idea to go run an arena or something. Nothing else really should spike up the difficulty. A quick guide to the early few levels is to either just roam around ONE region (suggestion: Bellroot) and do all quests one by one. As for the Aseneekiwaka, god damn I have bad memories of it; but unless your damage is over 1k doing the Fatal Fortress is hardly possible. By then the "asskiwi" will be easily beaten. It's also never a good grinding spot, so don't attempt it until you level up to 40~60 :)
Dark Souls requires no skill. It requires patience. In fact, that's valid for all PvAI situations including Sacred Seasons. Games that require skill are the ones that you have to best someone else, not the ones here you have to best dumb programs. #PVPLBMASTERRACE
Rule #1 of Sacred Seasons comment section: Only rate up if it's funny, criticizes the game and/or Jamie, criticizes someone else's comment or was written by tgus. Otherwise, downvote. Specially suggestions, smart comments and beautiful nostalgia moments.
Levels 1 through 9: Big cities in Europe and Asia that basically everyone knows, some central america, and a little bit of Africa. // Level 10: A bunch of small towns in USA no one's ever heard of and Russia. >_< I can't seem to get lucky enough with level 10...
mottingdog, maybe that sounds like the first impression, for the game really is deep. However, there is a changing factor to this, it's a social game, so you're supposed to play in groups. It isn't too hard to find a galaxy or something with people willing to host you and/or give you some help. ;)
